Thanks for the advice , i want to start by puttuing a air filter and a

full exhaust bypassing the cat, is there any specific makes of exhausts and

air filter i should be looking to get and if so where is cheapest place.

I am also looking for a set of lowering springs have seen a couple on eBay

but the brand name of jdm honda parts sounds tacky and cheap so thought

would give it a miss, i live in a built up area and unfortunateley theres too much

speed humps due to nova/fiesta drivers, so what springs and drop should i look

to buy.

also how do i put pics of my car up,

thanks

nice car matey...bythe way if you go gold you get discounts on stuff that you need

Welcome to TOC Nice car mate..... How can you park that close to other cars? I`ve got a 4 mile exclusion zone round mine.

Suspension.... Probably a 25-30mm drop would suffice. Will certainly help wheels fill the arches. Still have to be a bit wary of humps tho. As for make? It`s a jungle out there. But a lot of people will point you in the direction of Eibach springs which are reputedly top notch. Dont forget that you`ll need to uprate the shocks as well or you`ll find the ride is a bit springy on the rebound. KYB do a good set of shocks and they wont break the bank

Induction kits....... Um IMO for a N/A car i`d just go with something like a K&N flat panel filter in your existing airbox. It wont give you much (If any) induction roar and it`s not going to make the engine bay any prettier, but it is 100% functional and will increase airflow over the stock item and you wont have any worries about cold air feeds etc. But thats only my opinion.

Exhaust.... I`d go for a mongoose stainless de-cat system. Bit pricey about £400+ but good. And it`s going to last forever.

I`d avoid buying 'bargains' on eBay for your car unless your 100% sure of what your getting.

As TomB pointed out, going GOLD will save you 10% on the above which is going to be over £100 Not bad for £25 outlay. And you get stickers :D .

I`m sure you`ll get loads of good advice from the wonderful peeps on here. It`ll be up to you to decide what you do with it. So go for it and enjoy the ride. :D :D

crystal side repeaters and jdm aftermarket rear lights would look good also.

Thanks 4 the reply peeps :D ,

Have been a gr8 help but ive decided instead of making mods y dont

i just sell the the gt and go 4 the gt4. it makes more sense and saves time and money in long run,

any advice on what to look

for when getting one and a rough idea on prices.

How much u all reckon i should put gt up for sale 4 its on a (96)

n reg, uk car if that makes any different (doesnt know y it does to some

people as is still the same car)

130 on the clock, full service history, full mot, hpi clear and overall

excellent condition for the age, well i would say that cos i wanna sell it ;)

Thanks
